<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cladking, post: 1260293, member: 68&quot;]That was probably an old friend of mine who sold the coin.&nbsp; I don&#039;t want to mention his name since he might prefer to remain anonymous.&nbsp; We talked several times about the potential for clads way back when and one of the coins we thought might be a steal was the &#039;75-P dime.&nbsp; This coin is interesting since it wasn&#039;t saved in rolls and mint set quality is all over the map. He sold me what might be one of only a handful of 1966 proof quarters.&nbsp; (at least it appears to be proof)&nbsp; In those days there were all sorts of oddball clads floating around.&nbsp; The oddest one is a 1964 clad quarter.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Now that a clad has sold for so much perhaps some of the other stuff will start getting offered for sale.&nbsp; It&#039;s a buyers market out there but there are a few real collectors for these real coins and not everything is even available.&nbsp; There are not enough coins to make the sort of mass market that exists for some older US coins at current pricing levels.&nbsp; Even much higher prices can&#039;t create uncs out of VG&#039;s.&nbsp; The coins are gone or degraded and nothing can change it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
